8-Day Dubai and Cairo Tour
Day 1: Arrive in Dubai for Dubai and Cairo Tour
Upon landing at Dubai International Airport for your Dubai and Cairo adventure, you’ll be treated to an exceptional level of service from the very start. A welcoming tour representative will greet you, assist you, and guide you to the vehicle waiting to transfer you to your hotel.
Here, you’ll spend the first night of your journey. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy as you wish—unwind by the pool, take a restful nap, or set out to discover the stunning wonders of the City of Gold, one of the world’s most dazzling destinations.
Day 2: Sightseeing Tour – Traditional Dubai
Your second day begins with a delightful breakfast at the hotel. At the pre-arranged time, a guide will meet you at your hotel and take you on a journey through the traditional heart of Dubai.
The first stop of the day is Bastakiya, where you’ll enjoy a panoramic visit to Al-Fahidi Fort. This historic 225-year-old fortress, now home to the Dubai Museum, offers fascinating insights into the city’s past.

After exploring the fort and museum, you’ll board a traditional Abra boat for a scenic ride across Dubai Creek. Upon reaching the other side, your guide will lead you to the famous Gold and Spice Souks. These bustling markets are treasure troves where you can find everything from shimmering jewelry to aromatic spices.
Take time to shop or simply soak up the vibrant atmosphere before heading to the stunning Jumeirah Mosque. While the visit is a brief photo stop, the mosque’s beauty is sure to captivate you. Photos can be taken from the outside only.

Once your tour concludes, you’ll return to your hotel where you can relax before the evening’s exciting activity—a memorable dinner cruise at Dubai Marina. As you glide along the water, the city’s dazzling nighttime skyline promises to leave a lasting impression. After the cruise, you’ll be transported back to your hotel to unwind and rest.
Meals included: Breakfast and Dinner Cruise
Day 3: Desert Safari and BBQ Dinner
Start the third day of your Dubai and Cairo tour with a hearty breakfast, then enjoy most of the day at your leisure. In the afternoon, between 2:30 PM and 3:00 PM, you’ll be picked up from your hotel and set off on an adventure into the Dubai Desert in a comfortable, air-conditioned 4×4 vehicle.
After an exhilarating drive across the rolling dunes, your driver will pause at the region’s highest dune, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the endless Arabian sands.
While at this stunning location, you can try the thrilling activity of sandboarding before continuing to a unique Bedouin campsite. Here, you’ll be welcomed with refreshments and have the chance to dress in traditional attire. For the adventurous, a short camel ride through the desert is also available.
As the evening unfolds, your hosts will prepare a delicious BBQ dinner for you to enjoy under the stars. To enhance the magical atmosphere, traditional entertainment awaits—be captivated by performances from a skilled belly dancer and a tanoura dancer set to the rhythm of authentic Arabian music.

After this unforgettable evening, you’ll be driven back to your hotel for your final night in Dubai.
Meals included: Breakfast and BBQ Dinner

When you land in Cairo, your tour manager will meet you at the airport; he will assist you in every way possible, and then, along with one of our drivers, you will be taken to the hotel where you will be staying while you are in Cairo.
On arrival at the hotel, you will be assisted with check-in; a pick-up time for the following day will be confirmed, and then you will have the rest of the day to yourself.
